ATG Heavy Duty Universal Pistol Dovetailed Rear Sight Pusher Tool

Very pleased. For the folks complaining about no instructions. I’m not sure why they can’t look it up on Google or watch a video on YT. The product works great, it’s very sturdy. The only catch I ran into was the plastic inserts were a bit oversized so you gotta kinda work them into the grooves and that shaves away the excess plastic. I used a small punch set armorer hammer to gently tap them into place. Once that was done, they are a perfect fit now and can be easily exchanged between the different insert sets.

Very well made, and the carrying/storage case was an extra plus. At $44+ - felt like I got my monies worth. Recently purchased Trijicon HD night sites and read the reviews on the difficulty of installing the rear site. Since I do all of my own gun work (by no means an expert either) I decided to give this product a try, rather than chancing damaging the tritium-phosphur site tubes using the good old punch method or taking to a gunsmith to install. Already had removed the Glock OEM plastic rear site easily using a plastic punch without damage. The Trijicon (metal) rear site fit VERY TIGHT. Even after several passes of the bottom of the site over 1200 grit sandpaper to remove any high spots, the fit was perfect but tight. Very high quality Trijicon fit and finish. Using the NcStar tool, the slide was cinched down on all four surfaces. Advise using vinyl electrical tap on the side clamp surfaces, the surface of the moving slide of the tool that makes contact with the site, and on the top side of the pistol slide itself to avoid making any potential marks or scratches on the slide during the installation process. A drop of oil in the site channel (wipped across with my finger) also helpful. Take your time and check all settings before wenching the movable tool slide! The NcStar tool worked like a champ! The Trijicon rear site was so tight. I proceeded by holding the NcStar tool secured in a vise, and used a 15mm socket (with ratchet). NcStar was thoughtful in offering this alternative method to turn the movable slide, rather than the provided turning handle. Made installing easy - went on without a glitch. Centered the rear site as needed. No damage to the site or slide. Highly recommend this product over costly site tools costing 2-3 times the price, taking to your gunsmith, or using the "punch" method.

Easy to use. Make sure you grease all threads. Replaced sight on CZ P 10C. Tried to use plastic punch and hammer couldn’t move it! Used pusher tool came out real easy. Put new sight in without any problems. Recommend you watch YouTube video “ How to “.

My goal was to install Ameriglo tritium sights and it was a real torture test. First off, your sights go on in one direction and come off in one direction. After watching a few YT videos on this procedure (nothing specific to the PX4 subcompact), I came to realize that I had to figure out which direction I needed to move the sights. I determined that right is on and left is off and then it was a matter of figuring out how to make the pusher tool work with the model F variant of the PX4 SC - this is the one with the slide safety switches (one on each side of the rear of the slide. I wound up wedging one piece of 1/8" thick nylon fabric above each switch between the stabilizers on the left and right sides. This seemed to work well enough but the pusher tool could not push the sight out (or I was too afraid to keep twisting the shaft). I ended up using a full sized hammer with the edge of the 2" x 1" x 1/4" solid plastic spacer to start the sights (both front and rear). Once they were about 25% off the dovetail channel, I was able to easily push them out with the tool. The rear sight was much easier to move than the front sight and (full disclosure) I had to hammer the front tritium sight all of the way in to the slide. It was a real torture test for my slide and a real psyche test for me. The whole transplant procedure took me about 2 hours because of the care and time I took to figure out how to approach this because this was my very first time. I have no plans to ever attempt this again because I think it is too easy to destroy your sights and damage your slide. Thank God Beretta craftsmanship is way above par. If I have have the desire to upgrade my sights in the future, I will seek out a gunsmith, hands down. I do not personally believe this is a job for anyone who does not have a very high skillset, troubleshooting skills and collection of appropriate tools (you all know who you are). Review of the Pusher Tool: I am grateful for the availability of this tool but I do have a few CONs... *The side with the crank will not clear the stabilizer unless you remove the pin from it. I used an allen key of similar size so I could twist the crank freely while operating the pusher. *The "table/dial" that the slide rest on telescopes up and down as you turn it left or right - this is a great feature but it wobbles. It would have been great if it were more stable so as to ensure that the slide is level with the pusher as it sweeps across the top of slide. If the angle of the push motion is not level with the sight/dovetail channel, it can create a moment (structurally speaking) and break the sight, the pusher block or even warp the slide (if that is even possible???) For the price though, I was able to make it work well enough. * I think it is safe to say that this tool was not designed for a slide with a slide safety, let alone two of them. I would not recommend this for a pistol with one (like the Beretta PX4 model F or G).

Excellent pusher. I had a much less expensive pusher, but was afraid it might ruin the expensive sights i was installing. This pusher was very easy to use and has plastic incerts so they wont damage your slide.

TL,DR: Depending on your unit, you may need to tighten the set screw with the included Allen key in order to make the tool work (I recommend doing this before attempting use, just to be safe). My unit required a great deal of strength and several minutes to install a Trijicon HD XR rear sight, but it did the job; the way it works is simple, but the work itself is not necessarily easy. The use of this tool is simple; removing a Glock rear right is a breeze. When it comes to installing a new sight, however... This sight pusher works, but, at the very least, mine required a good deal of strength and several minutes of genuine exertion to install a Trijicon HD XR; this may have been an issue with my unit, as video reviews found elsewhere seem to imply far less effort than my tool required (it is also worth mentioning that it could simply have been the cut of my sight). The tool is not exactly precise, nor is it imprecise; rather, it's hard to gauge how much actual movement of the block is transferred to the sight, which makes fine-tuning a bit of a chore. That said, I was able to more-or-less perfectly center the sight on the barrel after spending far longer than expected pushing it just too far one way and then just too far the other until satisfied. I did experience one problem with the build of the tool itself - there is a set screw (for lack of a better term) found in the nut on the main shaft of the tool (that is, the mechanism that actually does the pushing) opposite that handle. My unit arrived with the set screw too loose, allowing the shaft to bind or break loose, depending on direction of rotation. This problem was resolved by cranking down the set screw with an unreasonable amount of force. I would recommend torquing that sucker down the moment you open the case, just to ensure you don't experience the same frustrations I did with the system either seizing or falling apart. If you're not handy/don't pick up on how tools work quickly, there are a number of decent tutorials to be found showing how the system works... which is good, as there is no documentation of any kind found with this kit. Did I need it? No, but I know that a manual is a deal breaker for some. At the end of the day, it did the job, didn't cost as much as those found on Brownells, and didn't mar the finish on my slide, so I consider this worth the money, but don't purchase expecting an easy and issue-free experience (that way, if you have one, you can be pleasantly surprised).

This is a review worth reading if you need a pistol sight pusher. I have 2 other highly rated sight pushers. One $100+. Changed out enough stock sights that I refused to bang on them with a hammer & delrin anymore. Upgrading to tritium night sights? You don’t want to bang in this with a hammer. Can cause permanent damage. Hammering in place not a very accurate way either. My other sight tools work ok but both have issues & some slides won’t fit quite right. If you’ve used a sight tool before you know proper holding of the slide makes a big difference. So this ATG is very well made. Good fit and finish. Seems well thought through. Example: doesn’t just hold slide from sides. Nice round screw plate on bottom so you can adjust to the height of your slide. About a 3” round plate big enough to give great bottom support. The sides screw in to hold slide. Delrin inserts so no steel contacting your slide. Holds sides very firm. The Felton inserts are not perfectly flat, so will work on slides other than perfectly flat Glock slides. Then they go a step further and provide a 4th plane of support with a top screw (also with delrin insert) that adjusts down on top of your slide. Last the heavy duty steel pusher when properly aligned will move the tightest site. You carefully set this bad boy up and it will remove and reinstall your sights. I’ve used it now on Glocks, 1911’s, CZ75 & a SIG micro 9. Worked well on all. Probably some slide out there that won’t fit, but it would be a 1%-er. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. PS: no instructions included but intuitive setup. If your buying a sight pusher you’ll figure it out. By the way it comes with a nice zippered case with urethane foam cutout to fit tool. Extra delrin protection inserts. They’ve though of almost everything. For $60 you can’t go wrong.
